When Rape Isn’t Rape, and Trans Veterans Aren’t Terrorists

“All transsexuals rape women’s bodies by reducing the real female form to an artifact, appropriating this body for themselves.”

All transsexuals rape women’s bodies? Last I checked rape was non-consensual, forced sexual intercourse. Raymond’s use of it as something less than that should be considered an insult to the victims of rape everywhere.
